The last paragraph could suggest that certain "Jewish leaders in New York" would prefer that Israel send someone they know to the UN
as it would be easier for them to explain the individual to to New York's Jewish community.
Where does this "explaining take place?"
Who does the "explaining?"
Who is invited to the -- shall we call it -- the Israel permanent rep;resentative at the Uniteed Nations explanation process?
Now these Jewish leaders -- do they think they should be part of the
Israel permanent representative at the United Nation selecting process?

If Israel shows greater flexibility, it can still influence the post-nuclear deal agenda ; If Israel digs in its heels, it will increasingly become a liability rather than a strategic asset to the U.S.
